Gene expression profiles of dicyemid life-cycle stages may explain how dispersing larvae locate new hosts
Abstract Metazoans have evolved a great variety of life histories in response to environmental conditions. A unique example is encountered in dicyemid mesozoans. In addition to a highly simplified adult body comprising only ~ 30 cells, dicyemids exhibit a parasitic lifestyle that includes nematogens...
